Two sisters bought matching tiny homes
Lots of pics at the link.snip
for $75,000 each, and now they're neighbors in a tiny-home village in Florida
Sisters Alexis Monkhouse and Ashley Okegbenro Monkhouse purchased matching tiny homes for around $75,000 each in 2018.
Today, the duo live next door to one another in a tiny-house village.
While their home exteriors are similar, the interiors reflect their different personalities and lifestyles.
From their childhood home to a college apartment, sisters Alexis Monkhouse, 25, and Ashley Okegbenro Monkhouse, 23, have almost always lived together.

They are in a tiny house village.

they're both still adolescents. 
And best friends.
Market competition if they sell someday would be mobile homes, of course. This doesn't say if they own the land they put these on or how close it is to shopping, etc. These days mobile homes in parks with individual ownership of the land, but without more desirable location, amenities, or "upscale" style, probably start from about $35K for low end and up, perhaps $80K, When land is not owned, lot rents tend to run from $300/month - $800/month, but MHs themselves where lot rents are $500 and up can be purchased for very little for obvious reasons.
most tiny homes have had to be placed outside municipalities where land use regulations are too minimal to disallow. Hopefully, that's changing a bit.
It may be 10-home Escape Tampa Bay, which is "somewhat rural" but not that far out, lot rents @$400-600. Pictures look nice, and being in a managed-business community would help stabilize value.
The last couple of stories I read had a few THs located on their own lots in reather undesirable rural areas with low land prices, and I winced (considering Tiny House very high costs) since there's no way to protect value if any of the very few other owners don't maintain their properties, abandon them, rent to problems. Which, frankly, in those places seemed likely over time.
But something of this general type has a much better chance of remaining a nice place to live, even if the units themselves do depreciate steeply:
go stay with friends, head north, or wherever. One couple with a big, rambling concrete block house has a big house party each hurricane. Some regions are bothered more often than others. Interestingly, so far no hurricane has hit Tampa directly. Our friends on the water in a MH who babysit grandchildren each hurricane while the parents work in ERs always turn down all invitations and head for a public shelter where the kids can be kids among others.
THs on foundations to code must be insurable, surely, part of what's being paid for? We buy liability but never asked about property insurance on MHs nearly 20 UBC/IBC updates behind current with effectively no market value -- and no foundations! (though sweet and comfortable homes that've been around over half a century). Unlike TH owners, if a hurricane carried one way we'd just have had another oldie for $1-15K pulled onto our land and refurbished to our tastes, part of the reason for the choice. We NEVER worry about flood damage even though both are on water and prime candidates.
in every way. Though Hemingway would probably be pleased at how his home has stood up. Or maybe not. 
An up to 9' surge from Irma when that one emptied Tampa Bay was projected, and that would have wiped out our waterfront MH and its park near Tampa. We sat up in GA and said goodbye to our lovely little place, but Irma also took that elsewhere to smash some other unfortunates.
Our attitude was planned for. We deliberately chose "snowbird" properties in high-risk flood zones not zoned for conventional homes that we wouldn't have to worry about. It's cost us appreciation on the improvements and land but made beautiful views, etc, affordable and saved us anxiety, both important to us.
How do they get away with calling it a "tiny-house village"? It's a trailer park.
They're nice looking, high-end mobile homes. The affordable price is a plus.
If it has a foundation, and it's not sitting on wheels, then it's not a "mobile home."
A modular home is built in a factory and transported later to the homesite. The difference is the modular home sits on the ground and you can actually build a basement underneath, if that's your desire to have one.
It’s rural, like very rural, and I’m a Seattle woman. So, something new. There’s small community hospital I can work at until retirement. My husband has MS, and he feels less stress out of the city. My daughter and SIL have long since planned to help with him as we age, and as his disease progresses.. One of my grandsons is moderately to severely autistic and I can help with him.
A family group on a piece of property has a lot of appeal to me.
And no on the “wheels” lol
